Good morning，
I am appealing the “Order to Vacate no Later Than October 18, 2021” by the city of Diamond
Bar issued on September 30, 2021.
I own the condominium unit located at 23605 Golden Springs Drive, Unit No. J4, Diamond Bar,
CA 91765.
The city of Diamond Bar declared all Buildings in the condominium development located at
23601 through 23665 Golden Springs Drive, Diamond Bar, CA 91765 are immediately
dangerous to life, limb, property, or safety of the public based on two inspection reports by
Khatri International, Inc. structural and civil engineers, based in Las Vegas, retained by the
Diamond Bar Village Homeowners Association. The reports were done in 2017 and 2021.
For the 2017 report, certain areas of the buildings were exposed for investigation. The
conclusion of the report was “The Buildings ... do not pose an immediate life safety threat.”
The 2021 report was based on visual observation only with no materials testing or structural
analysis. Each building 2nd floor units were red-tagged due to the impending risk of structural
collapsing from the roof rafter conditions. Each building 1st floor units were yellow-tagged as a
medium risk of structural collapsing.
These buildings may need further structural investigation to verify the integrity of the
building structures. But this investigation can be conducted when the buildings are
occupied. This doesn’t justify City’s Order to Vacate either.
Since the city of Diamond Bar failed to provide the evidence to show the buildings are
immediately dangerous to life, limb, property, or safety of the public, I request the city of
Diamond Bar retract the Order to Vacate.
